First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tested whether injecting a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) along with a numbing drug (ropivacaine) into the surgical site before major spinal surgery could reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers afterward. 118 adults having spinal surgery took part. The goal was to see if the combination worked better than the numbing drug alone.
